So we will be using 
form, in which m = slope and b = y-intercept. Since we know the slope (-8), all we need to do is solve for the y-intercept. We can do this by inserting (-2,2) into the equation and solve for b.
Firstly, do the multiplication: 
Next, subtract 16 on both sides, and your answer will be -14 = b
Using the previous info we have, our equation is y = -8x - 14
<span>A line thru (5,1) with slope of 3
y - 1 = 3(x - 5)
y = 3x - 15 + 1
y = 3x - 14
hope it helps</span>
Answer: a = 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
14=4a
divide both sides by 4
14/4 = 3.5
4a/4 =1a or a
so a= 3.5
Because the parabola opens down and the vertex is at (0, 5), we conclude that the correct option is:
y = -(1/8)*x² + 5.
<h3>
Which is the equation of the parabola?</h3>
The relevant information is that we have the vertex at (0, 5), and that the parabola opens downwards.
Remember that the parabola only opens downwards if the leading coefficient is negative. Then we can discard the two middle options.
Now, because the parabola has the point (0, 5), we know that when we evaluate the parabola in x = 0, we should get y = 5.
Then the constant term must be 5.
So the correct option is the first one:
y = -(1/8)*x² + 5.
